NV Series by NLS Lighting

Micro optical system offers superior clarity that withstands heat and UV aging resulting in clear optics that don’t crack or become yellow over time. An independent test report by Dow Corning showed that an acrylic lens completely yellowed after 6000 130-degrees C, a poly-carbonate significantly yellowed, while the NV-series silicon optic remained as clear as the initial zero hour of operation.
